The rumors and signings are coming fast and furious now...
- I guess there is a money tree in Miami for the Marlins now that they have signed Mark Buehrle to a four-year deal. Reunited Buehrle with former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. 3 big signings, are more coming?
- Now we wait on Albert Pujols....it appears more and more likely he is going back to St. Louis but the Marlins keep peeking back in to try to get him. Rumors have connected Pujols to the Cubs at some point but that's not happening. I won't predict where Pujols goes but it won't be Clark and Addison.
- Let's now talk about a player I do see on the Cubs next season and that's Prince Fielder. He's telling friends he wants to go to Chicago (Twitter can be a treat though). This would be a great signing just getting a left-handed hitter with power but lots of work needs to be done on the North Side even if this happens.
- Next, we go to CJ Wilson. Marlins still poking around, Nationals poking around, Angels seem to be the front runner but then the Rangers spring back up. I'm thinking Wilson is headed to the Angels. He likes the West I read so sounds logical.
- Huston Street was traded today from the Rockies to the Padres. San Diego needed a new closer after Heath Bell went to South Beach. Rockies wanted Street out of there and get away with not paying much of the 2012 salary either. Don't think the trades are over for Colorado yet though.
- Another player out there is Jimmy Rollins, who I don't think will be heading back to Philadelphia. All has mostly been quiet on his front at the Winter Meetings with all of the attention on the others I already mentioned but look for J-Roll to end up in Milwaukee.
That's it for now, we'll recap in the morning....
